Summer Dreams, a 2-hour television special that gave fans an exclusive look at the players, personalities and behind-the-scenes drama at NBA Summer League aired Sunday, March 15th on the CBS Television Network.

The documentary profiles two first round draft picks, Michael Carter Williams of the Philadelphia 76ers and Dallas Mavericks’ Shane Larkin, two players trying to make an NBA roster in Romero Osby and Dwayne Davis, D-League coach Joel Abelson who was fired on draft night and is looking to prove he is still a professional basketball coach, and Lauren Holtkamp who is attempting to become just the third full-time female referee in the NBA.

“The Las Vegas Summer League truly is the ‘American Idol’ of basketball,” Dallas Mavericks general manager Donnie Nelson says during the documentary. “And it’s not just the ‘American Idol’ for the United States — it’s the ‘American Idol’ for the entire globe.”

When asked about the NBA Summer League executive producer Mike Tollin said,”The NBA Summer League is an incredibly colorful event in which team owners, general managers, coaches, lottery picks and longshots all convene in Las Vegas to pursue their hoop dreams.”
